So the story will end the same way it began, but with a new perspective that will make the whole journey worthwhile? Or am I just reading too much into the title of that video?

What a time it was.

Gah! I'm still on chapter 12! Why must there be so much to read on this site?

Wait wait... Background Pony is coming to an end?

Shiny. Soon we can get some EoP as well, I hope. BP is made of awesome and win, but I miss the Wasteland.

I'm scared. And I feel like I should be sad...but I don't know why.

Next chapter is gonna be interesting...

And look at me finding relevant music to the previous one so f***ing late in the game.
Ah well. Blame October rust.

Easily, I didn't even think about how much more applicable that one was to the story. It's practically the inner monologue. Old Friends fits, too, and works as a companion piece to Bookends. That's what I was thinking, clearly too intensely.

It's not over 'til chapter 20 is finished!

Oh good. By the way, having just slogged through the morass of End of Ponies for the first time, (and I say that in such a way as to mean "crinklecut fries on cheese was that ever a lot to read and wrap my head through") speeding through and reading all 500k+ of it this week, and only adding 24 new stories to my "Read Later" list, I say this:
1: Only 24?!
2: That's quite the remarkable storytelling ability you've got here, SSE
3: EoP is maybe half done? And BP is nearing its end? (Cue blank look followed by moment of lightly snapping)
4: Thank you very much for the writings you have inflicted upon shared with us. I'll keep reading, at least.

419469 You and me both. I mean I might just have to read through EoP for the fourth time in preparation

419513 419530 It just came to me when I saw the inclusion of Bookends and Old Friends. Pretty sure my thought process was "Background Pony, Simon & Garfunkel, Sound of Silence, holy shit!", followed by about 10 minutes of cursing at my tablet while trying to get a working link to post. Kept getting redirected to the YouTube app or the m.youtube site.

Blood for the blood God!

Simon & Garfunkle wrote so many introspective songs about loneliness and memory that you can use almost any of them to fit a chapter of BP. I tip my hat to you thomp, excellent call on Sound of Silence. :moustache:

420155 They remind of Mumford & Sons strangely. I find it weird to say that this band I just heard of reminds me of one of my favorite bands.

but i don't want it to end :pinkiesad2: and please make sure the story end with the curse being destroyed because if you don' t the wraith of us will fall down on you.:eeyup:

My jimmies are prepared for the ensued rustling.

End? Well...ima
just...go cry...in..da corner now:fluttercry:

well It was fun while it lasted, I suppose when this story is over I will be forced to read the rest of SS&E's stories :twilightsmile:
